I think every discussion about this should focus on what exactly are the things that need to happen that no one would do if not coerced by either force or threat of destitution. How do we make sure those things get done and done well is a constraint of any economic changes we make to make things more fair. Also keeping in mind some of those things need to organize 1000s of people, how do you mine lithium in one place, and ship it across the world to 200 other places without financial incentives, how would you fuel the ships, load and unload them, track their location, repair and maintain them. I think it's pretty obvious things could be MUCH better and our current solution is very sub-optimal, but also that the problem being solved is very complex and the solution we have mostly works, but also there is a lot of work that is not particularly fulfilling or attractive to do, and especially not going to self incentivize anyone to do it well. Also it's clear markets are the best way to signal demand. So you really want to keep all of that, while getting rid of some of the biggest exploitative extractive inefficiencies in the current system.

I remember one major web host in 2004 .. I noticed they weren't checking the extension of profile pic uploads, so I uploaded a .aspx file that I wrote a file tree explorer into.

From there I could browse through all of their customer's home directories; eventually I found the SQL database admin password, which turned out to be the same as their administrator password for the Windows server it was running on: "internet".

This was a big lesson for me in upload sanitizing.
What's the main reason for using binoculars rather than a monocular system? Is it because you get 2x the light without using larger optics? There is a "Binoculars vs Telescopes" table at the bottom of the page, but it doesn't provide any real details. The table appears to be comparing their system with a standard hobby telescope which is larger and bulkier. But I'm wondering why they don't sell half their kit at ~half the price.
> For the threat model of most users, where hardware-based targeted attacks aren't a big concern, this is a bad tradeoff.

> hardware-based targeted attacks

You mean physical-access attacks, correct?
Is it really just these kinds of attacks that a T2 chip protects against?

AFAIK if malware has super user privilege, it can access the RAM of other processes, and therefore it can access the encryption keys stored in RAM by other processes.

If those processes could have used an encryption API that does the encryption on the chip, and therefore not need to store encryption keys in RAM, they'd be protected against this kind of attack, a kind of attack that is not hardware-based.
Leaving it to market also won’t take care of the problem and would instead cause chaos in the home ownership market for no beneficial reason.

The market can’t do the correct thing unless the cost is correctly linked to the reason for the increased costs. There needs to be another solution - personally I would think apply a tax to fossil fuels that pays into an insurance fund to partially lower underwriting risk.
From the linked study, "These findings of positive associations between artificial sweetener intakes and increased T2D risk strengthen the evidence that these additives may not be safe sugar alternatives."

This is news to me. I was under the impression that: 1) artificial sweeteners were a safe substitute for sugar for people with diabetes and 2) diabetes came from excess sugar consumption which wasn't a problem with artificial sweeteners.

Sure, this was the command I used:

That'll grab all the WAN shows (that's the playlist LTT provides for the WAN) of the autogenerated subs in a rather, uh, unique, JSON based format. From there I wrote some throw away quality Python to find razor or blade near percent:

import os, json

hits, files = 0, 0
for cur in [x for x in os.listdir(".") if x.endswith(".json3")]:
files += 1
with open(cur) as f:
data = json.load(f)
words = []
for event in data["events"]:
at = event["tStartMs"]
for seg in event.get("segs", []):
words.append((len(words), at, seg["utf8"].strip().lower()))

span = 10 * 1000
for i, at, word in words:
if word in {"razor", "blade", "razors", "blades"}:
span_min = min(x[0] for x in words if abs(x[1] - at) <= span)
span_max = max(x[0] for x in words if abs(x[1] - at) <= span)
for other_i, other_at, other_word in words[span_min:span_max+1]:
if other_word in {"percent"}:
print("-" * 100)
loc = min(at, other_at) // 1000
loc = f"{loc//3600}:{(loc%3600)//60:02d}:{loc%60:02d}"
print(loc + ": " + cur)
phrase = " ".join(x[2] for x in words[min(i,other_i): max(i,other_i)+1])
print(phrase)
hits += 1

print(f"{hits} hits in {files} files.")

It found some false positives (maybe one, don't remember), and the hit shared above.

I agree, it seems extremely misleading, especially for medical organizations. The US government doesn't make consumer clothes, so I don't think anyone's too confused with American Eagle Outfitters not being government-ran, but the US does have several government-ran Health and Human Services divisions and U.S. Public Health Service agencies (e.g. the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), etc.)

I wonder what percent of Americans think that the American Diabetes Association is a government-ran organization. My guess is that it's quite high. You'd have to design a poll correctly (e.g. "From the following list, select which ones are government-ran organizations") to not give the answer away, but I imagine it's a high percentage.
Yes, and it’s not just poking. You have to actually code lots of stuff from scratch and maintain it. Feels like you almost need a full time person maintaining it.

It comes down to honesty. Are you idle because you want to be idle or are you just being lazy and not going after the opportunity right before you? Are you not pursuing the low-hanging fruit out of principle or is your ego holding you back from doing humbler things?

The "trust the authorities" perspective currently en vogue is certainly not that "doing your own research works." It's that one needs an MD or PhD in a medical field in order to evaluate research, and hence should defer judgment on personal decisions to such qualified individuals (or more often, in practice, to institutions which purport to speak for them like the AMA, AAP, or American Diabetes Association).

Nvidia's value is inflated today, but an eightfold drop would be a pretty shocking undervaluation. Half maybe, but someone else would have to displace a large amount of the value Nvidia provides. AMD is chronically incapable of building vertically, and Apple has been plugging their ears ignoring the datacenter market for almost a decade now. Until someone finally funds a proper CUDA-killer, I don't think Nvidia is going to feel the hurt. Their hardware has demand, their software has market-fit.
I agree that nested loops are verbose. But einsum is unstructured and not extensible, hard to debug in pieces, hard to document etc.,
Show HN: gpudeploy.com – "Airbnb" for GPUs
Hi HN,

YC w24 company here. We just pivoted from drone delivery to build gpudeploy.com, a website that routes on-demand traffic for GPU instances to idle compute resources.

The experience is similar to lambda labs, which we’ve really enjoyed for training our robotics models, but their GPUs are never available for on-demand. We are also trying to make it more no-nonsense (no hidden fees, no H100 behind “contact sales”, etc.).

The tech to make this work is actually kind of nifty, we may do an in-depth HN post on that soon.

Right now, we have H100s, a few RTX 4090s and a GTX 1080 Ti online. Feel free to try it out!

Also, if you’ve got compute sitting around (a GPU cluster, a crypto mining operation or just a GPU) or if you’re an AI company with idle compute (hopefully not in a Stability AI way) and want to see some ROI, it’s very simple and flexible to hook it up to our site and you’ll maybe get a few researchers using your compute.

Nice rest of the week!
Yeah, my weed guys over the years were just some fellow stoners. The most cross-promotion I saw was for mushrooms or other psychedelics but I feel like that fits the stereotype. Once in awhile they might "have something" but I'm would be a one-off thing.

Anyone ever compile a browser with emscripten to wasm? So that you could try out a new browser without having to download and install it? I think that could be genuinely useful in instances like this (try-before-you-buy-browser-in-your-browser), instead of just a recursive curiosity.
I was thinking recently that there's enough food to feed everyone but some people cannot afford to buy it. Hence there are food banks in an apparently "first world" country like the UK. Just to annoy some Americans...what's with the worlds richest country letting people be homeless? I remember a beautiful park in San Jose that I went to was full of rough sleepers and wondering how that happened in the middle of all that tech wealth.

Why? Why are there men who demand 50-whatever billion payouts in a country where not everyone has a place to sleep?

It seems the same issue to me. We're not on the earth to "do great things" or "achieve progress" or any of that crap. That's for people who have some special enthusiasm which the rest of us need not share, or, as Bertrand Russell says, for the elite who want us to labor for them. If one builds one's morality or sense of virtue on doing stuff one is a self-whipping slave and probably ready to become a slave driver for other people too.
I work in this field, so here's a comment with higher signal-to-noise ratio than you'll commonly find on HN when it comes to LLMs: notice how the demo use cases for very long context stuff deal almost universally with point retrieval, and never demonstrate a high degree of in-context learning. That is not coincidental. The ability to retrieve stuff is pretty great and superhuman already. The ability to reason about it or combine it in nontrivial ways leaves a lot to be desired still - for that you have to train (or at least fine tune) the underlying model. Which IMO is great, because it neatly plugs the gaps in human capability.
Thanks! Macroexpanded:

This is not about idleness or laziness at all. It's about working for the man versus doing what you want to do.
Arguably, a union has to hold the position of requiring membership, and against those who don’t want to join. Collective bargaining only works when your position represents the group to the point where it can’t be dismissed.

But yeah, It’s challenging for a union to remain exclusively dedicated to serving its membership. I think it’s increasingly complicated with national unions which exist for the sake of unions as a concept, but not necessarily any union members.

It’s weird.
He deserves prison of course, but I’d raise a glass to his legend. At least he fleeced the savvy.
OK, fair enough. I will rephrase: I don't see any plausible mechanism by which you could know this, though I do concede that there are some possibilities. Maybe you have ESP. Maybe you have access to secret alien brain scanning technology. Maybe you hired a private investigator to suss out the depth of my understanding of the subtle and complex differences between belief and knowledge (though how he might have done this without my being aware of it remains a bit of a mystery). I have no idea. So yes, it's possible that you have some basis for believing that I "do not have a deep understanding of the subtle and complex differences between belief and knowledge". It's also possible that the earth is flat. But if you want me to take either possibility seriously then the burden is on you to explain it to me. Until you do that, the most plausible explanation I have for your behavior, and the one I am now going to start acting on, is that you are simply a troll.
The fundamental idea of most unions seems to be, that once labor recognizes that it is working for a monopoly, instead of working to break up that monopoly, they decide to form one of their own in order to gain some power of negotiation with their employer. Typically to the detriment of the consumer market and the labor market.

For new entrants into the labor market, as you've flagged, now they have to successfully negotiate between two overly large entities with predictably unfortunate results. Labor is best served as a competitive market and unions should only be used in the few limited circumstances where they are otherwise unavoidable.
Culture permeates
Supposedly lying about the scale (and risk) of his positions to get more leverage from banks. It’s good old-fashioned fraud.
This is pretty neat, and cool as a design style for doing "tilesque" types of drawing. Would there happen to be a way to add your own tileset, font, or tile atlas? Would then allow for rather quick tilemap creation (GB, NES, SNES style; a lot of cell phone games, many Steam releases, ect...). Lots of market. 500 games released last week on Steam. https://steamdb.info/upcoming/?lastweek Out of the 28 so far today, 6 appear to be tile based.

If not, may borrow at least some of the design features for a project, as with a bit of simplification in a few areas, and changes for cell phones, it would actually make a nice way for users to interact with tile based games. Place an object, move an object, flip an object.

The tab based design and layout also works nicely desktop to phone for the most part, which is a nice plus for adaptation.

Anyways, neat tool, and especially design flow and layout. Also, the 15 pages of font use on https://velvetyne.fr/in-use/ is pretty crazy to look at.

EDIT: Also, to the author of Teranoptia, the licensing layout is actually rather nice and really clear about uses immediately. Lot of the web has vague license names, yet the direct use listing is beneficial.

Shell middens. Garbage dumps. Charcoal, burned bones, and carbonized residue from hearthfires. We've identified 150,000 year old villages by digging up their middens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midden

We've found 0.4 million year old wooden javelins in peat bogs. Beyond that, we have intact dinosaur nests with eggs, 100 million years old, and these were not ground down to powder by glaciers. If there were any non-stone-age civilizations older than 10,000 years, their residue would be visible.
The trouble with the way Backstage is designed is that it makes keeping everything up to date difficult. It is also harder for them to ship updates for their core and plugins due to the labor involved in incorporating any updates.

A plugin architecture like Wordpress or Grafana is much more manageable for an operator. In fact, a set of plugins for Wordpress could probably get you an equivalent solution, but it's PHP, so you know, ew. I'd love to see an alternative to backstage that gets it right.

Such a small price to pay for what? The median person has notoriously bad diet, bad exercise/movement habits, etc. so what does being in 90th percentile even tell you? And what does it tell you to be

> and I'm healthier than 99% of people I meet

Because apparently this just says that you are more fit than a seal with pneumonia in the middle of a desert.

It seems more natural to ask what concretely you will be able to do. Because if I just wanted to get the Xth percentile bragging rights—which a lot of fitness bizarrely boils down to, with all the health benefits just being eh—I would just hang out with my father’s friends more.
Probably a combination of a few things, field of view, comfort in both neck position and eye strain, perhaps an ease of "looking at where you're aiming" too?
